My husband lives with me and my kids but he often works away. He left last week for work and won’t be back until mid December. We live in central London and there’s been a few nights where it’s been super loud and rowdy on the street and it’s made me worry more than usual. I just make sure all windows are locked and doors locked with chain on before bed. Do you have a Ring doorbell? Might help ease anxiety slightly.

My husband is working from home one week and gone for another.

My neighbor is very nosey, that helps. He notice the slightest moment happening. He has lots of cameras installed, give me peace of mind.

I’m often alone with my kids . My husband often gets in around 6 or so pm Fridays and leaves at 4 am mondays for the work week. I do travel with him every few weeks tho . I always keep my doors locked but I have a nosey neighbor (seniors) too who questions a vehicle they don’t recognize at my property . My FIL works 10 minutes away from my house so if something happened during the day he’d come over but we’ve always been fine . I also think having pets is a good comfort for me bc I can blame a strange sound on them 😅
Hey 👋 are there any psychology major moms out there ? Looking for someone I can ask some questions regarding the “ nice guy persona “ I think this is who my husband is and it’s kinda scary .

So my husband brought up today that he wouldn’t mind another “wife”, to help out with a lot of things. Y’k childcare, finances, and downright fun/sexy times etc. And so I told him that if we found the right women, that we both liked, she liked both of us, and our kids. Even brought up that if she wants kids then that’d be cool too! Then we could definitely make it work. Is it insane to think that?? I’ve never done more with a women than kiss my childhood best friend in middle school time (yearssss ago) I’ve always fantasized about it but never happened. I’d like to think I’d enjoy it though!
Sooo I guess we might be looking into a women to come into our relationship and become wifey material?😅

So, I downloaded this app hoping it would help me expand my social circle and feel more comfortable meeting moms and discussing mom-related topics and just having fun conversations. However, the more chats I engage in, the more disconnected I feel. I honestly don’t believe I can genuinely connect with people online, I’ve never been a social media type of person and sometimes it just feels forced. Also, I don’t think people take into consideration we’re all moms navigating our own personal lives, which may not align with the availability of others at the times they want to chat. So instead of negativity thinking someone’s ignoring you, consider the fact that they may actually be handling things and will communicate when they’re able to. And the group chats are a great social experiment but it’s no connection it’s no way to actually get to know people unless there are smaller made chats no more that 5 ppl …. Idk. What should I do 🤦🏽♀️🙇🏽♀️

I’m a sahm to a 2 year old. My husband is stressing at work because they don’t want to give him a raise and I feel bad because he comes home tired and doesn’t have time to see the baby. I want to get a side job or online or even start up cricut projects again. I’m getting desperate and need ideas or if anyone knows anyone hiring online or even part time.

I want to get my partner a small gift for becoming a dad - I'm almost certain he's going to get me a 'push present'!
Any ideas of something unique I could get him?!
Ideally something that marks the moment rather than any old gift that I could get him for bday/xmas instead.
